It's not correct without the v either, but at least you get warnings in
either case.
$ perl -we '$v = q{2.61.129}; print 0+$v'
Argument "2.61.129" isn't numeric in addition (+) at -e line 1.
2.61
Isn't the numeric form "2.610129" ? If you're really concerned about
non version-enabled code, seems like that would be the way to do it.
